Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies

Don’t be tempted to substitute craisins for the dried cherries in these cake-like cookies, they taste like mini bits of fruit leather and are definitely worth it!

Ingredients:

1 cup margarine
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup dried cherries, roughly chopped

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a mixer, beat the margarine and sugars until fluffy. Add pumpkin, egg, and vanilla. Mix well.
3. With the mixer running, add flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Mix until combined. Fold in the chips and cherries.
4. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto lined cookie sheets. The cookies will spread while baking so don’t crowd the pans. Bake for 12-14 minutes. Cool on the trays before removing them.

Parve. Yield 2 dozen.
